Moved UH Manoa information

Headline text

Huj Ci W Dupe (hwdp-Huj W Dupe Policji) "Polish" =Just copy and say that to some polish people=Expanded in formation on the University of Hawai'i System. Considering the expansion, information specifically for the University of Hawai'i at Manoa was returned to its original page where it can also be further expanded soon, maybe by me tomorrow. I also completed pages for the John A. Burns School of Medicine and the William S. Richardson School of Law, as well as pages for the major research facilities like the Waikiki Aquarium and East-West Center. Gerald Farinas 21:50, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Moving lists of famous UH people to itsown page

Noticed that several universities have a page for the list of their famous alumni and faculty. I suggest that this be done for UH.--Gmosaki 22:49, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved the faculty and alumni to separate lists. Sudachi 10:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion

I have reverted the most recent edit which added a link to an article about the corruption of the University staff. While on the one hand it is a good idea to have controversies listed on an article, and I'm not trying to make a pro-UH bias, but I feel that it was placed inappropriately and didn't need to be put where it was. I'm also sceptical about the source - living in Hawaii, I pretty much only rely on the Advertiser and the Bulletin for news articles about such things, and I'm inclined to think that this 'Hawaii reported' is a hoax, since I've never heard of it. I would ask that the anon who contributed that link find another source to back it up, preferably from somewhere reliable, just to make sure. To me, that whole article seems very POV, and I don't think it's the kind of thing that needs to be here. I'm sorry if I've made a mistake, but that's my rationale. I'd be happy to hear other sides, of course. —Keakealani 19:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The new source is from an financial audit from the State of Hawaii.

College of Pharmacy

I added the new College of Pharmacy to the grad schools. Someone needs to build a page for it and add it to the UH information box with all of the campuses.--Gmosaki 04:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Vandalism

While the goal of Wikipedia is to produce balanced articles, to credibly balance all issues, all claims must be narrowly supported by a breadth of reliable secondary sources; which specifically excludes therefore op/eds. While--intended in the interest of balance---unsubstantiated claims that are overly broad and entirely unsupported by reliable sources--in the end---actually undermine this goal.

Recent edits, about UH controversies, specifically related to the university's "fabric" being woven with "racism"----putting aside an evaluation of the claim itself--- are simply too charged, and as such likely too broad to be supported by any volume of reliable sources that would be sufficient. Wikipedia editors have continuously reminded the contributor responsible for these claims---and his/her decision to repost them despite this has resulted in vandalism of the page.

If this editor is truly interested in achieving balance on the UH article--he/she will narrow the claim in a way that he/she can support it by numerous independent and secondary sources that are reliable (i.e. not op/eds). In doing so, the editor's clear opinion on the matter that is overtly driving these claims will be mitigated in favor of raising the issue via substantiated claims.

– Although the okina is used by the university, WP:COMMONNAME says "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." I think most readers of the English Wikipedia would have trouble typing an okina in order to get to the university's article. The NCAA does not use the okina, nor does the U.S. News & World Report in its rankings. There are probably many sources that do use the okina, and many sources that do not.
